US intelligence services have been following the exploits of a Mexican drug Cartel lieutenant for a long time. They also happen to have uncovered a woman who is willing to testify against him (Sofía Vergara). A Texas police officer (Reese Witherspoon) is sent to collect the woman and bring her in. This is where problems begin to arise, however, as the Cartels are notorious for their violence and brutality, leading to the two women being forced to make their way back to the police station with trained killers at their backs.
Anne Fletcher ('Step Up') directs 'Hot Pursuit', as written by television writers David Feeney ('2 Broke Girls', 'New Girl') and John Quaintance ('Aquamarine', 'Joey'). Principle photography for 'Hot Pursuit' took two months, with filming beginning on 12th May 2014 in New Orleans, Louisiana, before moving into Ponchatoula, LA, during the film's second week of filming. 'Hot Pursuit' (originally titled 'Don't Mess with Texas'), is set to open theatrically in Germany, Italy and the Philippians first on 7th May 2015, before moving to the US and UK on 8th May 2015.
